According to the Free Press, this is the second time in two months Leshoure has faced marijuana charges. On Feb. 18, he was cited during a traffic stop for possession of marijuana. Earlier, he had pleaded to a lesser charge of using marijuana. He paid a fine on the first charge.

On March 12, Leshoure also was involved in a traffic stop as a passenger, and an officer told the Free Press that Leshoure was viewed by police trying to eat marijuana to avoid being charged.

A second-round pick in the 2011 draft out of Illinois, Leshoure sustained the season-ending Achilles injury during training camp.
